location right next to ferry port, so we saw the Hurtigruten boat calling in

We were in the pre-season (end of May) - three adults with dog - spontaneously looking for a cottage on a campsite. Unfortunately, all cabins in the area were fully booked due to weather conditions. The only accommodation in the area shown by Booking.com was still a triple room in Gulbrakka Basecamp. We decided to book without checking recommendations and when we arrived we were greeted very friendly by the houseowner, even got two rooms for the price of one and a free coffee to welcome us with a tour of the house. Two rooms for three adults with dog was a welcome change after a long trip. Although the street is close, the rooms are quiet and you can sleep with the window open if needed. The curtains completely darken the room, which also helps for restful sleep in areas of constant day and night brightness. It is quiet in the corridors with no loud music or the like, although all rooms were occupied. Each room has cleanly made beds and fresh towels. The shared bathrooms are clean with free hot showers, and two friendly cleaning ladies are coming daily in the morning for cleaning everything. The shared kitchen is fully equipped including fridge and there is a large shared living room with couches for relaxing. It is close to the start of the boats tour for the glacier hiking tour (about 25-30 min drive) and to the national park (about 10-15 min drive). As a conclusion it can be said that we unexpectedly got one of the best shared accommodations of our whole trip through Norway for a cabin price and that if we come to the area again for longer vacation we would definitely stay again in Gulbrakka Basecamp also longer term.

Clean, spacious, quite & very welcoming Staff.

Clean and cosy hotel, and we liked the atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is not new and shiny but it really doesn't have to be, we had everything we needed. I slept really well. Mountain view from the window was also a plus. Could stay there anytime again.
